minougo vs traditional removalists
removal by suburb — melbourne
melbourne access — what to declare
CBD buildings: OC approval status + loading dock booking reference. inner north terraces: tram track proximity, street width. bayside: council permit obtained? driveway gradient in hawthorn or camberwell? declare everything during the 90-second inventory — the fixed price absorbs it. hidden constraints = surprise cost on moving day.
faq — removalist melbourne
do I need Owners Corporation approval to move in a Melbourne CBD building?
yes. most CBD apartment buildings are managed by an Owners Corporation (OC) under the Owners Corporations Act 2006 (Vic). you need written approval to use the loading dock, plus a booking window — typically 9am–4pm weekdays only. some buildings require 5–10 business days lead time. minougo asks for your OC status during the inventory so the removalist knows before accepting.
can a removal truck park near tram tracks in Fitzroy or Collingwood?
not on tram tracks. trucks must stop adjacent to the tram lane on a side street or in a designated loading zone. on narrow streets like Smith St or Brunswick St, this can add carry distance. your inventory captures your exact address so the removalist can plan the truck position before the move day.
how far in advance should I book a melbourne removalist?
4–6 weeks for december to february moves. 2 weeks for off-peak (march–november). CBD buildings may need longer due to loading dock booking lead times. minougo confirms the removalist within 48h of your booking — the constraint is the dock booking, not our confirmation speed.
is there a surcharge for terrace houses in Carlton or Fitzroy?
if the property has no lift and requires carrying furniture up stairs (common in victorian terrace houses), a stairs surcharge applies. this is declared in the inventory ('no lift, X flights of stairs') and factored into the fixed price upfront — not added on moving day.
what is the cheapest type of move in Melbourne?
a studio or 1-bed apartment in a northern suburb (Preston, Reservoir, Coburg) moved on a tuesday–thursday in the april–october period is the lowest-cost profile — flat access, no tram restrictions, no OC approval needed, off-peak timing. minougo partner data 2026 puts this at A$520–650.
